Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Thrice Wedded, but Only Once a Wife" by Mrs. Georgie Sheldon is a fictional novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in a quaint Massachusetts cottage and introduces us to young Robert Ellerton and his close friend, the lively Dora Dupont, as they embark on a whimsical adventure of childhood romance and impulsive decisions. This lighthearted narrative, however, quickly hints at deeper themes of societal expectations and familial conflict that foreshadow challenges ahead for the young couple. The opening of the novel sets the stage by vividly describing a charming June morning in a cottage adorned with flowers. We meet Robert as he arrives to take Dora for a ride, and the innocent excitement of youthful love is palpable as they decide to marry on a whim. Their joy is interrupted by the dark character of Squire Moulton, who harbors a mysterious grudge against Robert's father. The initial thrill of their marriage is clouded by the threats of Squire Moulton, as he crafts a sinister plan that could wreak havoc on the children's lives. The stage is thus set for a compelling narrative exploring the intricate dynamics of love, resentment, and the repercussions of past actions.
